Used those for a few years before buying a APS-C Nikon, followed a few years later by another one but never liked the results. When the M9 came out I got interested, broke out the Contax again to see if I could work that way, then (in those naive days) looked a pros/cons compared to Canon 5D inc prices.... I knew I would not use a big SLR often, seems odd now I often use the S2, and looking for prime lenses.

Thanks John.
